The old 3.5e Epic Level Handbook had 10th level spells, and the rules surrounding their use.

So, maybe you could use a 10th level spell slot to stengthen Wish?

I haven’t played D&D this century, and the last Pathfinder I ran was lower level and we only did 1 or 2 actual play sessions before scheduling fell apart. (Also, I’m a pretty bad DM, even working from an existing published campaign; people just want me to be GM because I can remember rules.)

EDIT: 10th 11th and 12th.

“The un-fur-tunate fellow”

The “anaphalaxis” I was talking about was the alternative to the sub crush, and what happened to the billionaire that is the subject of the article, so I think you might have misunderstood me?

Bee-igi.

Based on the simulations I’ve seen, yeah. I’m sure there were plenty of panic in the sub and during the anaphylaxis, but I believe once the sub failed, there was less than a second between in first physical sensation to the complete disorganization of the nervous system, rendering the sub death quite painless. With anaphlaxis, even a sudden, sever attack, there will be several minutes of (at least) muscle strain as your diaphragm desperately tries to pull in more oxygen, and also general pain as your tissues squeeze against one another as they expand and nerve cells die.

I can and have accepted death; I’m too old to believe radical life extension will save me. But, many deaths are incredibly painful. If I have a choice on how to go out, inert gas asphyxiation seems best, but some sort of rapid disorganization isn’t too bad. Anaphylactic shock seems worse.

It’s like intraoffice e-mail.

That’s why Elmu wants to go to Mars.

I wish that injustice didn’t happen to you, but I believe it did. Also, it tracks with some of the “issues” with speedy trials in the U.S.

Depending on jurisdiction the clock “stops” when there’s a undecided motion in front of the court and in those jurisdictions it’s relatively easy for a prosecutor and a judge to conspire to put off a “speedy” trial arbitrarily long. I’m sure such tactics could give grounds for appeal, and might even be standing to sue the judge, prosecutor, and jurisdiction for violating your constitutional rights, but they’ll definitely work at least until the are properly and expensively challenged to establish precedent. Plus, I know sometimes constitutional rights are held to protect someone from federal action, but most criminal complains are handled by the states, and not every state has a “speedy trail” in their state constitution.

The criminal system in the U.S. is too easily abused by authority; we need real reform. I think we need do need jails and prisons and adversarial court cases, but there’s got to be some way to get by with fewer of them.

Depends on the jurisdiction, but in most of the U.S. “speedy” (~90 days) is actually the default, and you have to waive your right to one if you’d like more time.

I believe most defendants choose to waive their right to a speedy trial in order to have more time to prepare. It’s so common that many judges schedule themselves under that assumption and some will even be biased against persons that do not waive that right.

[Judge] Murphy was angry with [attorney] Weinstock because the public defender wouldn’t waive a client’s right to a speedy trial, the complaint says.

I think you are probably right.

Even an arrest is temporary if we haven’t thrown out due process. Habeas Corpus means a judge has to look at things, and decide to extend the detention until trial. Also, the trial has to be “speedy”.

It’s probably not good that there is a mechanism for legally detaining someone for months without them being an imminent threat to themselves or others. But, that’s been status quo as long as I’ve been drawing breath, so I’m used to it.

I think you are running a risk of No True Scotsman, but I agree that detoxified masculinity rejects controlling persons.

“sign jokes” are probably written by “the room”. Everyone tosses out 2-3, and the whoever is running the room for that episode picks one. They might even keep a backlog for these since they don’t really have to be related to the episode plots/topics. Simpsons and Futurama also have them in many episodes, but Bob’s Burger’s is the only show I know that always has one (two if you count the “Burger of the Day”).

Agreed. I tend toward more literal translations for instruction/explanation – it made things stick better for me when learning Spanish. But, yes, in context “harder” is a definitely a more useful translation.

“tres bien” is “very good”

“si vous plait” is like “please”

“plus fort” is like “more strength”

I’ve never studied or learned French, but you can pick up some of this stuff from “throwaway” French in other context and the etymology shared with other languages.

So, basically just the stock U.S. porn phrase translated to French.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Miller was one of those “Skinny guys [that] fight 'til they’re burger.”

I thought he might have been the source of Elmu’s black eye for a while.

I want to live in a world where no entity gets to use my organs without my consent. I want to live in an equitable / just world.

Therefore, I want to live in a world where no fetus gets to use any person’s uterus without their consent. I support access to abortion.

He agrees; no one should take health advice from him.
